    Go to nopi's webstite for semi local stuff and they're prices are usually decent. They'll probably have to order stuff for you though. I've gotten a lot of ebay before with no problems, just depends what you want.

    Alright, so I looked on EBay and found a performance chip for my car that supposedly adds 45 HP, 11 MPG and it only costs $8.49. It's made by a company called Dynamic Tuning and Performance. Has anyone heard of this company / seen this item on EBay? It sounds like a scam to me and I wanted to see if anyone else knew anything. If it were a bolt-on mod like an intake, I'd buy it, because, worst case scenario, I'm out 10 bucks and I have to remove it and re-install the old one, but I don't know if this performance chip could reset the settings on the stock ECU and/or screw up my fuel map. Any help is appreciated.

    any acura is considered a luxury car. but they still take the stock civics. put that acura against a d16 and the acura will smoke it......a.ss

    it was back in the day when it came out. im talking about the tsx, rl and stuff. so your saying modding a car with over 200 hp is a waste of time. that car he has prob is a v6 and has 200 hp. those cars beleive it or not are quick for what they are. they have great potential.

    no u fail, you said "why would u do that?? thats a freakin luxury car, find something else to build" and i said "thats what every one said about my car to. its a family car man dont waste your time." im just saying that your that kind of person to say that without giving the car a chance. you shoot it down like it has no potential, "find something else to build". and then when they do build it, it becomes desently fast.
